I don't understand the explanation: if it looks for a binary called
swig, then where's the need to create a swig2.0 symbolic link? How a
binary in $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin can get overridden by the version
installed by the host distro?

The SoB line is missing.

Should be HOST_SWITCH_INSTALL_SYMLINK.

I've marked your patch as "Changes requested" in patchwork.

Thanks!
